James 4:6 in Context — James 4
4 Adúlteros e adúlteras, não sabeis que a amizade do mundo é inimizade contra Deus? Portanto, quem quiser ser amigo do mundo constitui-se inimigo de Deus.
5 Ou pensais ser em vão que a Escritura diz: “O Espírito que habita em nós ansia com ciúmes?”
6 Porém ele concede uma graça maior. Por isso diz: Deus resiste aos soberbos, mas concede graça aos humildes.
7 Sujeitai-vos, pois, a Deus; resisti ao diabo, e ele fugirá de vós.
8 Aproximai-vos de Deus, e ele se aproximará de vós. Limpai as [vossas] mãos, pecadores, e vós de dupla mentalidade, purificai os [vossos] corações.
